In the 1970's, the Riverside circuit was the principal location for the annual International Race of Champions (IROC).
For this years Christmas Special we draw our inspiration from these events.
There will be eight teams, each with their own colour Porsche. And each team will consist of a maximum of three drivers.
To enter this years Christmas Special, simply pm me with details of your chosen team colour and the names of your drivers. Teams colours will be on a first come, first served basis.
Entries accepted up to midnight 29th December 2010.

I'm looking forward to this one. I love driving the IROC 911. MJ was requesting a series with the 914. I'd also be interested in running a series in this one as well. Great car. Tony has given us plenty of time to dial it in. Get cracking!
I did a bunch of testing for this event. The AI set to 120% with psychotic agression is quite good and will give you a race. Start at the back and work your way forward.

IROCs at Riverside is like my classic vintage porsche racing christmas dream come true! I would love a champ series using just these but seems too many dont like them or cant get the hang of them. :'( hence why i mentioned 914s as they are more user friendly and great for a one make series. Alas, ironically i cannot even commit to this as not sure yet whether i will be in Italy at xmas...bummer :'(

Nice event. From a series point of view, the rsr is a much more freindly car for non-porka experts.

how about making a rule where no team can consist of more than one alien...should keep it tighter and spread the talent throughout the field.

LOL Then you have to define "alien". That should take a month or so. How about Mike plus anyone who sounds remotely Italian? Or is that It-alien? Never could spell.

It's a nice idea MJ, in theory, but probably a nightmare to administer, and I'd probably have to end up deciding who was and who wasn't. Not a task I'd relish TBH. I'm with the current more casual format and ATEOTD 's will race 's whatever you do.

m'eh, just an idea this should get you in the mood for driving one of these vintage beasts, albeit an RSR, but check out the agility and sound of it Might stop you lot complaining about how difficult to drive it is in sim when you see how it moves about through the twisties for real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJdRczyzMdM&feature=fvst

Sounds good I think I can make that so count me in. Now I just need to find a team, wonder if we have enough GPL'ers doing P&G now for us to enter together

Hello, Again a nice one Tony! But please do not when I ask how one can swap drivers during the race. Is this some kind of setting? I never have raced as a team before so I am kinda new to this concept of racing (although it sounds really cool). If somebody please can give a hint where I can find this information, it is much appreciated. PS. Are there not more IROC cars, the camouflage green and the vaguely yellow one?
